Date men from United States / California / Arcata, 56 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I would prefer to talk or chat, but it seems it should be described.
Summarize what I am in a few lines is not really possible ... Here is a sample of what I am.
Instead of the kind of active and happy life, dynamic, even if I do not say no to a little rest ...
I laugh, it's vital! Natural but not neglected, not fashion victim either ... a little reserved when I do not know the people, (I relax fast enough)! I have character, but not unbearable either!
For what interests me, I would say simply drawing, music in general, walking in the mountains, scuba diving as I discovered some time ago, the ballads, my job, my family ...
At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, some values such as respect, tolerance (and a bit of chivalry, romance, if it still exists) does not dislike me.
I am not looking for an adventure one evening, but something more serious. I know that man n'esxiste not perfect, and indeed I do not want nothing to reproach, always agree with everything, how boring lol yuk
I took the time to build my life and I have neglected the essential: the lives of two ...
I continue to discover new horizons, and 2 is certainly better!

Meet a man from California, United States. Okay, so I am hoping to meet an attractive woman with whom I can share outdoor adventures and develop a friendship that may or may not lead to a LTR, depending on our chemistry. I have a B.A. in English and an elementary credential. I've taught outdoor school in SoCal and been a canoe guide at Mono Lake and in Bend, Oregon. And a ranger in Yosemite and Inyo National Forest on Mammoth Mountain. I LOVE the snow and have lots of gear for getting out in it. My fallback while looking for the perfect teaching job is carpentry. I love to read and to write as well. I am a very social animal... I get energy off others so I have to pick the right people to be around. I like word play and riffing with intelligent friends. I also love to kayak, ski and bike ride.
